Top 10: Unknown Serial Killers

Ten Serial Killers With Crazier Stories Than Robert Durst's

Call it the craziest ending of an HBO program since Tony Soprano went out to the sounds of Journey and a black screen.

At the end of the show The Jinx: The Life and Deaths of Robert Durst, an HBO six-part documentary about the oddball, eccentric son of a major real estate mogul, the 71-year-old seemed to make a shocking confession. With his mic unknowingly still on, he muttered off-set that he had "killed them all."

Durst was surrounded by death throughout his life; his first wife disappeared in 1982. When the case was reopened in 2000, his long-time friend Susie Berman was murdered. In 2001, he fell under suspicion again for the murder of his elderly neighbor, Morris Black, even admitting that he dismembered the body. He was tried and eventually cleared of the crime however, found to be innocent.

Almost immediately following the airing of the last episode of the six-part documentary, Durst was arrested yesterday in New Orleans for the 2000 killing of Susie Berman, with folks speculating he had been nabbed because of his last-minute "confession."

Of course, Durst hasn't been convicted of anything, and in fairness, his "killed them all" remark might have been a bit of black humor.

But if there's one thing the uproar over Durst shows, and just the possibility that he might have confessed to three killings, even jokingly, it's that there's nothing that gets our fancy up like serial killers. Robert Durst was the third most searched trend on Google yesterday, after all.

So, history buffs and fans of the lurid and grotesque, let's take a trip through 10 actual serial killers. To be clear, we're not picking the low-hanging, well-know, Jack The Ripper-esque fruit: these are all ones you probably haven't heard of. Go on, read up.
